EasyJet Data Breach
One of the most challenging legal issues in the era of information technology is the protection of personal data. Nowadays the data stored by companies is very vulnerable to different data breaches. Sometimes even big corporations like Facebook, LinkedIn and major airlines are affected. The incident did not bypass the UK air carrier easyJet that had its data breached.
EasyJet data breach: how to claim up to £2,000
On 19 May 2020, easyJet reported that the private information of its 9 million air passengers had been hacked as part of a sophisticated cyberattack. The low-cost airline informed its customers that the incident may have affected those passengers who made a booking with easyJet between 17 October, 2019, and 4 March 2020.
The compromised easyJet data included:
- full names
- email addresses
- travel data (booking details such as dates, departure and arrival locations, etc.)
Moreover, the company disclosed that the credit card details of more than 2,200 passengers were stolen.
Such financial and personal data breaches may lead to serious consequences threatening the security risk of affected passengers. Cybercriminals may open new bank accounts, access the existing ones, make purchases or commit wrongdoings using stolen identities.
Even if the victims did not incur any financial losses, they might still experience a significant psychological impact. They may feel stressed and anxious due to the extra vigilance required as a result of the breach.

Submit a claim
Strange, but easyJet did not take any action to compensate for moral damages for their clients. The company simply wrote about what happened and asked the victims to be careful since their data is in the wrong hands.
Moreover, the low-cost airline informed the UK Information Commissioner's Office of the cyberattack in January 2020. This means it waited four months to notify the passengers.
Has my data been breached?
Your personal information was breached if you received the notification email from easyJet informing you about the incident. The email titled "Cyber Security Incident" was sent to all victims between April and July 2020.

Data breach compensation: can I get it?
When your personal data is hacked, compromised or leaked, you may get data breach compensation in the UK under the UK Data Protection Act 2018. It also includes the General Data Protection Regulation of the EU (GDPR).
These important pieces of law have the same function as the Data Breach Prevention and Compensation Act of 2019 in the USA. They stand for the protection of individual data privacy rights and set out the rules on how to use and handle private information.
The law also states that the passengers can still claim GDPR compensation for distress and frustration that came along with the breach, even if there was no money lost involved.
